>From Qu Yuan to Bei Dao, Sinophone poets have struggled for millennia to find a balance between the personal and the political, in the spirit of wen yi zai dao. The current generation of poets is proving to be no exception, with a recent spat between Guo Lusheng (aka Shizhi) and Yu Xiuhua grabbing headlines across the Chinternet. The poet Xu Xiao sees a ‘clash between generations’ as poets shift from responsibility to the nation, to a responsibility to their own life and experiences. But could this be a case of old wine in new bottles? Relevant topics might include (but are not limited to) depictions of service and seclusion in the Tang and Song, Mao-era slogans and doggerel, the relationship between the center and margins, underground samizdat poets, the prison poetry of Angel Island, and paeans to the Lower Body.
